Municipal transport also goes regularly. On pl. Rimini is the bus station East Side Bus Station, from which transport is traveling to the eastern part of Rhodes, in the direction of Faliraki.
If you need to get to the western part of Rhodes, then go to the West Side Bus Station bus station. It is located on the square. Averof; From here you can also leave to the airport.

The schedule of the bus movement is observed clearly, it is possible to get acquainted with the schedule in transport bureaus, hotels, tourist offices, from drivers (you can ask them to have information booklet), and, of course, on the bus stations themselves. Despite the fact that the buses go strictly on schedule, still come to the stop ahead of the arrival of your transport - you never know what. Travel is paid in the cabin of the bus, at the entrance. Tickets should be kept until the end of the trip, as it happens that they are checked. There is no voice notification of stops in local buses, so be alert so as not to sleep your.
